Damage buit
ASTORIA Wl Three witness
es testified for the plaintiff
Tuesday in Ernest J. Combs'
$233,373 damage suit against As
toria policemen and city offic
ials. Combs is asking the settle
ment for a pistol shot in 1958
that has kept him in a hospital,
paralyzed.
Defendants in the case are the
late Brewer Billie, city manager
at the time; H. A. Ellsworth,
then Astoria police chief and
now police chief at Eugene; and
John Patrick Codd, Astoria po
liceman, who fired a shot to halt
Combs.
Combs had been stopped for
a traffic violation, Codd said,
nd drove away in his car with
the policeman in pursuit. Codd
said he fired a warning shot at
the ground when Combs got out
of the car.
But Combs fell with a bullet
In his back.
Codd said on the stand Tues
day that he charged Combs with
reckless driving in a complaint
filed in Municipal Court after
the shooting. He filed no other
complaint, he said.
Dr. Edward W. Davis, the
first witness called, testified
about Combs' treatment. Davis,
a Portland neurosurgery spec
ialist, said Combs was perma
nentally paralyzed from the
waist down as a result of the
wound.
Mrs. Melba Combs, the plain
tiff's mother, said she was lying
in bed awake early the morning
of July 12, 1958, when the shoot
ing occurred.
She said she heard her son
drive in, then heard another car,
then a shot.
Codd wouldn't let her see her
ton lying on the ground, she
said, but put him in the police
car and took him to an Astoria
hospital.
She did not find out he had
been shot until physicians told
her later, she testified.

Board Warns
Kite Flyers
Spring and kites seem to go
together, but electric wires and
kites do not, warns the Eu
gene Water & Electric Board.
A kite caught in an overhead
wire can mean serious injury
or death, or just be a nuisance
to the entire neighborhood.
So the utility offers these
words of wisdom for those who
want to fly their kites:
Don t fly them near over
head wires because many kite
strings can make dangerous con
ductors of electricity.
Don't us light wire or met
allic string on the kite. A wet
string itself can make a good
conductor, but a wire or metal
lic string, wet or dry, can really
give a jolt.
Don't use a metallic kite.
If this got tangled in electric
equipment it could interrupt
electric service in the entire
neighborhood.
And finally, if despite the
warning, a kite does get caught
in an overhead wire, don't try
to get it out yourself. Call
EWEB and a serviceman will
remove it.

Brochures
Revised
Hill Discusses
Highway 126
The Lane County Chamber of
Commerce voted Tuesday night
to have 25,000 revised Lane
County Park and Recreation
brochures printed.
The brochures will cost $1,800
and will be available in a few
days, according to Bob Smith,
Springfield, chairman of the
publicity and advertising com
mittee. The group, meeting in
Springfield this month, heard
Jess Hill, chairman of the
Board of County Commission
ers, report on a conference on
road construction held recently
in Salem. He said little was
achieved at the meeting be
cause there appeared to be no
state funds available for de
sired improvements in Lane
County.
He also stated that he be
lieves Route F, the Clear Lake
cutoff and Highway 36 from
Mapleton to Florence, will be
renamed U. S. Highway 126 in
the near future. Various cham
bers in the area have recom
mended this redesignation.
The group established a for
estry committee and a natural
resources committee. Harrison
P. Hornish will head forestry
and Byron Price the natural re
sources committee.
The chamber decided to hold
winter monthly meetings in the
Eugene area in the future to
avoid additional driving re
quirements of its members dur
ing months of poor driving con
ditions. Next month's meeting will be
in Oakridge and the May meet
ing in Cottage Grove.

$10,000 was low. Further study
showed that more work was in

figure is still too high, he said.
